If you’ve noticed that restarting apps from your Home Screen or App Library happens instantly without any wait, you’re experiencing normal behavior. When you open apps this way, they launch smoothly and quickly, without any delays or waiting for animations to complete.
However, if you try to launch apps through Siri Shortcuts placed on your widget, things are different. You might find yourself waiting for the full launch animation to finish before you can open the app again. It feels a bit slower and more awkward, especially if you’re used to the quick launches from the Home Screen.
This delay only happens when using Siri Shortcuts widgets. The apps in your dock open immediately, but those on your Home Screen, which are set up as Siri Shortcut widgets, seem to take longer. Many users believe this is a bug that should be addressed.
If you’re experiencing this, know you’re not alone. A quick way to see what’s happening can be found in a shared video linked here: [Link to Video]. It clearly shows how apps launch quickly from the dock, but there’s a noticeable delay with apps on the Home Screen that are activated via Siri Shortcuts.
For now, there’s no perfect fix to bypass this delay, but understanding that it’s likely a bug helps set expectations. Keep an eye on software updates, as Apple may improve this behavior in future releases.
